The New American Beauty: THE OVEN STUFFER
Everybody now is beautiful or in the process of becoming so. Beauty, which previously provided an American alternative to aristocracy, is being made available to anyone who wants it enough.
In response to sheer demand, the American definition of beauty is changing, or about to change, for the first time in at least a generation.
The new American Beauty is busty rather than leggy. She is squat rather than tall. There is a kind of hardened voluptuousness to her. Her face is not angular; it broad, almost swollen looking, for the American face, in general, has expanded along a horizontal axis. Her hair is streaked blond and her teeth are unapologetically white.
. . .the new century gives us the oven stuffer, after the eight-pound pullets straining against their shrink wrap . . .nobody can look at those birds and think in any way that they look natural.
ex: Brit, Christina, Beyonce, Jennie Finch, Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, . . . .
Our appetite for beauty is stronger than ever. WE turn to the oven stuffers, because as a nation we never have been one to go hungrey.

There are alot of girls who actually aspire to look like this(esp in rating comms), like the final product of one of the women on the swan. Its disgusting. And sorry, its not pretty.
What turns heads is elegance, beauty is unusual and angular.
Beauty is not the women on the Bachelor with their blown out hair and orchestrated outfits. This is the look that works for sorority girls at USC or any retarded university in Arizona, overly tan in some Express outfit, and Tiffany's open hearts. This look can be hot, but its easy and generic.
